The "transmit" antenna must be inside and the licence fee is £75. No mention that I've seen of type approval but they should of course meet CE requirements. Connecting an active and passive antenna back to back (with a bias tee or inline amp) is illegal in the UK unless you get a licence from Ofcom first. A quick seach on Ofcon GPS repeaters will bring up a bunch of references.
Most probably they use this scheme to essentially know where such
re-radiators exists, so that in case they would register interference
near it they know where to look.
Similar soft licensing is used in Sweden.
Cheers,
